Ko-chan you IDIOT!!!!!! Why did you leave? Ugh... Come back! Anyway, I'm torn. I love Ko x Ohana, but.... they keep on giving little Tooru x Ohana moments and.... ugh... Ko-chan, come back before I start shipping Tooru x Ohana!

What "Adolescence" do you have?
Do you remember "Childhood"?
The irreplaceable one existed there.

I really like the atmosphere that the anime has developed. They really came a far way from the original awkwardness of adjusting to hotel life.

Man, Minko is really tsundere done correctly. It's cute how's she's tsun to everyone but dere to Tooru. Feels more true and natural that way. Favorite character of the series and I usually dislike tsunderes.

A nice conclusion to the series' first arc. It had its flaws but overall I really enjoyed this episode.

First, the things I didn't like, namely that Ko and Ohana didn't get to meet. On the one hand, I could sort've see Ko's reason for leaving: the inn is incredibly busy so even if he went there to visit her they wouldn't have much of a chance to talk. That and I think this seperation is supposed to symbolize Ohana and Ko gradually growing apart. Do I still want to see a reunion scene between the two? Hell yes. Was I annoyed that it didn't happen in this episode? Hell yes.

That's really my only complaint with the episode as the rest of it was carried out quite nicely. I liked Ohana's search for Tohru, especially the part where her sandal breaks and she goes flying through that bush. It was nice that Minchi recieved some more character growth, being able to cook that tempura for the guests must have been a great reward for her hard work. And I'm happy that the Madam Manager is finally shaping up to be a good character.

Its was a good episode, though it was a shame Ko didn't get his chance to surprise Ohana but honestly im 100% for Ohana x Tooru XP

can't wait for next week's episode.

I'm really hoping Ohana and Ko end up together in the end!


Yeah, perhaps Ko should have tried scheduling a room BEFORE arriving at the inn.

Maybe Kou wanted to surprise Ohana. If he registered room beforehand, she might happen to read the guest list.

I have sympathy for him after all. Try your best, Kou !

I remember when I was Kou's age, frequently a teenage boy doesn't act entirely logically, I could feel his frustration with the situation, but I doubt he has given up.

I am starting to wish females didn't watch this show because it's annoying reading all this "i support girl x guy" staff. The show certainly isn't focus on who is going out with who and relationship drama but reading the comments seems like a fucking gossip magazine about relationships.
Go watch some teen American show where everyone breaks-ups and makes-ups with everyone if that is all you have in mind.

Anyway we got the revelation on who the reporter was in the end. She even came with her mother. She seemed like a good person btw. So that poor guy got that horrible male dance for nothing. I bet he was having nightmares. And was that a penis he had drown on his belly lol.

In the end Ohana was the one that took charge in the place of her grandmother. I wonder if that will change their relationship a little and make her grandmother trust her more.

Btw what happened to Nako's bike? Didn't Ohana took it to go find Tooru? They just left it there huh. Poor Nako now she has to go and pick it up.
I'm also shocked by the shoes Ohana was wearing and traveling with the bike in such speed as we saw in the last episode.

The cook seemed to have gained his confidence after Tooru arrived. It seems he feels better when not everything is on his shoulders and he has some staff to boss around.

Kou screw-up there. If he wanted to stay in the place Ohana was working he really shouldn't have waited the last minute to call for a room. Still i don't get why he didn't try to find a room near by and just visit her. Did he only had that day free?
I wonder what that smile from that girl who seemed to be his boss was.

Agree with you there Monad... there's been waaaay too much talking about the romances, what about the plot?!? Of course this episode especially was asking for it, and the next episode too, I think the series might be heading down the romance road. Not that I will dislike it then, I love romances, but this series gave a very different first impression. This episode didn't dissappoint me, I was hoping there would have been more Ren and Tomo, but alas they only have so much time. Also, I want to know more about Nako besides her desire for friendship, like what her family is like and if she has any other friends. If you remember, she has twice gotten a phone call from someone we do not yet know. It's been really leaving me curious.

I've really liked the progression of the series thus far. I'm more excited over the interaction that may occur between the workers of the inn and Kou than Ohana and Kou themselves.

Poor Ko. He didn't get to see Ohana but it was his fault. Why the hell did he go back after all that effort going there to see Ohana. And maybe he could have gone to another inn. Oh well i guess Ko is just cute and stupid that way :)

Coming all the way from the city then returned like nothing happened although he helped Ohana to keep her spirit.

And Tohru is getting closer to Ohana. Can't wait to see Minchi's reaction. :D

Ohana will have to choose between Kou-chan and Tohru, Tohru between Minchi and Ohana, Kou-chan between Namiko and Ohana. And also:

Besides, how many love triangles / squares / pentagons are there gonna be?! Another girl who could possibly like Ko ... oh god. The preview is SCREAMING Ohana / Tohru :P

I was first like Ko will deserve Ohana, but then Tohru came and I'm supporting Ohana x Tohru~ Lol, but Tohru is betterlooking than Ko, and๏ปฟ even he's harsh sometimes I think he's kind after all. I think Ko will go out with that mystery woman who is wearing classes (was her name Namiko Igarashi?) I don't like Minko x Tohru, sorry Minchi. OhanaxTohru ftw.

Exactly my thoughts~

I hate it when characters don't see each other though. It's always so sad :( I don't really have any favorite couples in this series yet, but character wise I do prefer Tohru instead of Ko-chan.

Aww...they missed each other. If only Ko wait there for a little bit longer. I wonder how this will end up among Ko, Tohru, Ohana and Minko.

And it seems there's a new girl set her eyes on Ko, so maybe this will end as Ohana x Tohru after all?

Ok, I was saying Ohana x Ko on the last episode, I don't think that's going to happen anymore. :)

So yeah, Ohana x Tooru for sure. Hopefully Nako won't pissed off so much :(

This is a really good episode though. I like that they're showing the actual spirit of the inn owner. I still kinda pissed at Enishi though. WTF is going on with him ... He shouldn't run the hotel at all!

Ko x Ohana!
Except, I'm very disappointed in Ko right now. He went all that way and didn't even go by the in to say hi to her.
I think Minchi and Tohru are better for each other. They have a lot in common, and she is passionate about him.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

i know i will end up very disappointed with the relationship development between Ohana and Kou. It just seems he was put deep in the friendzone and he doesnt have what it takes to get out.

As much as id love a kiss scene featuring Ohana and Kou or even Tohru, its not going to happen.

Warm feelings in my belly watching this anime. I'd love to try out Minko's tempura too. I bet it's crunchy and slightly salty yet beautiful just like her.

Ko needs to appear a lot more in this show for me to care about him. I don't know anything about him except he's nice yet typicallly boring shounen.

Ohana managed to bring back Tooru, and she managed to still do her work properly. She must have been tired afterward. Walking around to find him and then back to work. Ohana worked very hard. Episode preview shows Ohana sick. As expected considering how Ohana worked to bring Tooru to the inn and do her job duties.

Man, I can't believe Ko actually went all the way back after going all the way to Yunosagi. Sigh. And who's that girl at the end?

I was so scared that Ohana was falling for Touru when she wore his helmet and started talking about his scent and then I was so relieved when she brought up Ko and wondered if that was what his scent was like.

The ending when Ohana's grandmother came back put a smile on my face ๐Ÿ˜Š
